William Frawley(1887-1966)

When he died in 1966, his gross estate totaled $92,446, and his assets were on track to grow after he died. He had a residual deal for Lucy ed io (1951) and Io e i miei tre figli (1960) which was unique to performers of the day: he was to be paid in perpetuity. His estate and heirs still earn income for rerun revenues.

To tell you the truth, I don't give much thought to television as a field of endeavor. It's a place - an art let's call it - where I'm making a livelihood. If something happens to television, I'll tend bar, something I enjoy doing.
